Sean's post is correct. Walk around your room with the music playing and see if the bass level changes in volume. You or your speakers may be sitting in a bass suck-out location. Consider having your room analyzed to reccomend the best location for you and your speakers. With good equipment its usually the room interface that determines what you hear.
Where s the bass?
My system - Sony CD player, Pass Labs X0 preamp & X600 amps, Thiel 7.2 and Transparent Reference cables. I believe the sound is open, transparent, and dynamics. However I just wish I could put an emphasis on the bottom end. Tone controls are not available on high quality Class A preamps, such as the X0. While I understand that adding one more component in the signal paths is not desirable as it will further degrade the sound, I would like to hear your opinions on the best way to boost the bottom end. Thank you.
